‘Squid Game’ Is Now The #1 Show In 90 Different Countries

Netflix’s focus on global content has paid off in a big way with Squid Game, which has planted itself not just as the #1 show in its home country of Korea and in Netflix’s home country of the United States, but now, the show is #1 in at least 90 different countries around the world.

I did. We all did. Still happy to see it.

Korean cinema has really seemed to break through in the US since Parasite. I will say I am not very exposed to Korean culture outside of what makes it over the Pacific to bleed into US culture. Which in my opinion makes it all the more impressive that two anti-capitalist Korean productions became international sensations after exploding in the US.

Can you all feel it? They tried to make us feel like the energy was gone, but it's still there, and it's not just Squid Game that's showing it.

EDIT - on a show related note, Oh-Il Nam was a total surprise to me, biggest twist I'd say.

    The capitalist will sell us the very rope we intend to hang him with, and we will use it to perform rope-cutting magic tricks for adoring customers at a Las Vegas casino show.
